DEXT PRICING
Dext Prepare is the capture product on Dext’s U.S. pricing page. These are the prices it and the extraction page showed on October 22, 2026, in U.S. dollars before tax. The plan is set with a slider; the row below is its default setting. When you compare, add the statement extraction you will actually use to the plan price, since statements are metered separately from receipts.

ZERABOOKS, ON THE SAME JOB
Here is ZeraBooks Convert on the same job: three fictional supplier invoices for Copperline Cafe, uploaded together. Every line is read and checked against the subtotal and the total, then all three download as one workbook, All details - 3 documents.xlsx, with 10 invoice lines.

WHAT DEXT IS
Dext was called Receipt Bank until it renamed itself, and receipts are still its core. IRIS Software Group agreed to buy it in December 2024.
CAPTURE
A client photographs a receipt with the Dext app, forwards an invoice to a dedicated email address, sends it on WhatsApp or drops it in on a desktop. Dext reads the supplier, date, amount, tax and currency, and says it gets over 99% of those fields right.
PUBLISHING
Dext connects to more than 36 accounting platforms and publishes the data straight into Xero or QuickBooks. With ZeraBooks, the statements can stay in one place instead: the ZeraBooks general ledger comes with the subscription, and every statement is proven before it reaches the books.
BANK STATEMENTS IN DEXT
From Dext’s help article, checked October 22, 2026. Only Admin users can do this.
Go to Bank > Accounts, select Add bank account, choose Manually and select Continue. Pick the bank, then enter the account name, account number and currency. An account synced from your accounting software can’t be used for statement extraction.
Select Add Documents at the top left, switch to the Bank tab, choose the matching account and drop in the file. It must be a PDF or TIFF of 50MB and 300 pages or less, scanned at 200dpi or more, holding one statement for one account.
The statement sits under Bank > Statements > Collected while it is read, then moves to Processed. Digital PDFs usually take minutes; scans can take up to 24 hours. Dext says about three in four are done within 4 hours.
From the Bank workspace, export the transactions or the processed statement as CSV. A statement counts against your allowance once extracted, even if you delete it; rejected statements aren’t charged.
Select Request your bank, enter its name, upload a sample statement and submit. Dext reviews it and replies by email. It says it supports more than 500 banking institutions.
THE LIMITS
None of these matter much if statements are an occasional extra. They add up when statements are most of the work.
A combined PDF with checking and savings, or a year of statements in one file, has to be split before upload. ZeraBooks Convert takes the whole PDF and splits it by account itself.
The Business plan includes 10 sheets of bank statement extraction a month. After that it is a 50-document bundle or 32 cents a document, and unused bundle documents don’t carry over.
A scanned statement can take up to 24 hours. When a client hands over a box of paper statements in tax season, that wait matters. ZeraBooks usually reads a statement in under a minute.
Statements from a bank outside Dext’s list need a request and a sample first. ZeraBooks reads any bank’s layout without a template.
Dext’s statement help doesn’t describe adding the rows up against the printed opening and closing balances. ZeraBooks does that for every account, to the cent; see how to do a bank reconciliation for why that sum matters.
WORKED EXAMPLE
Ridgeback Landscaping is a fictional business with 3 users, about 200 receipts and bills a month, and 4 bank and card statements a month of 5 pages each. Dext counts its free allowance in sheets and its add-on in documents, so the total depends on how a sheet is counted:
| Line | If a sheet is a page | If a sheet is a statement |
|---|---|---|
| Business plan, billed annually | 302.50 | 302.50 |
| Statement pages or statements a month | 20 pages | 4 statements |
| Free allowance a month | 10 | 10 |
| Bank Statement Extraction bundle, billed annually | 156.00 | 0.00 |
| Total for the year (USD) | 458.50 | 302.50 |
That is 38.21 or 25.21 a month, for receipts and statements together. ZeraBooks costs $948 a year, reads the same 20 statement pages out of 1,000, proves each one against its printed balances, and includes the General Ledger with Autopilot and Ask Zera. Ask Dext how sheets are counted before you buy.
